Sean Fitzpatrick

20+ years in health, wellness, nutrition, regenerative agriculture, and food system work. I have an experiential belief in the transformative power of food grown in partnership with nature. My career is dedicated to helping teams and communities achieve optimal health and vitality in partnership with our environment.  

A passionate self-starter, I pursue knowledge through research, experience, and communication. Sustainable and equitable solutions for hunger, agriculture, and the environment are important to me on personal, community, and global scales.  

I'm a patient listener and fluid communicator with high-level executive functioning skills and the ability to collaborate cross-functionally with multiple teams on various projects simultaneously.
